Friday is Global Day of Action, a day when demonstrations will be held pushing governments to start taking serious action on climate change.
And Fridays for Future Quinte, a youth-led group, will do its part by holding a rally in Belleville’s Market Square.
Isabelle Cakebread, a Centennial Secondary School student, is a member of Fridays for Future Quinte and outlines the group’s main concerns.
“Basically the global north needs to divest from fossil fuels, the colonizers of the north have a climate debt to pay for their disproportionate emissions and work toward a global recovery from COVID-19”
The socially distanced demonstration will begin at 1:30 Friday afternoon in Market Square.
